Depths

Mankell confirms his status as a writer deserving acclaim beyond the crime genre. By delving deep into the male psyche, he produces a novel as tense and compelling in every way as the Wallander series, but also powerful, moving, and ultimately tragic.

Internationally acclaimed author Henning Mankell has written nine Kurt Wallander mysteries. The books have been published in thirty-three countries
and consistently top the bestseller lists in Europe, receiving major literary prizes (including the UK's Golden Dagger for Sidetracked) and generating
numerous international film and television adaptations. He has also published many other novels for children, teens, and adults. In addition, he is one of Sweden's most popular dramatists.

Born in 1948, Mankell grew up in the Swedish village Sveg. He now divides his time between Sweden and Maputo, Mozambique, where he works as a
director at Teatro Avenida. He has spent many years in Africa, where a number of his novels are set.
